Feng Feng Weng was born in China, and began full time dance training at the age of 11 when she was accepted into the prestigious Shanghai Dance School. There she studied Classical Ballet, Chinese Folk Dance, and Chinese Traditional Dance for six years.

Upon graduating she took up a tertiary placement at the Beijing Dance Academy, where she studied choreography for four years, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance, and learning a variety of styles including Merce Cunningham, Martha Graham and Trisha Brown. During this time she also studied for a period in New York at Dance and choreographed and performed Rust Sleeve at the Connecticut International Dance Festival.

She then went on to work in the Chinese Central Ballet as a staff member, dancer, and assistant choreographer, and during this time choreographed Blood at the International Computer Music Festival in Beijing, and performed Calling for Wilderness, with the Beijing Modern Dance Company, China.

In 2004 she came to Melbourne, Australia to study for her Graduate Diploma in Choreography at the Victorian College of the Arts in The University of Melbourne. During this time she choreographed and performed many works including White Fan, Phoenix Feathers, and in 2005 went on to complete her Masters Degree in Choreography, developing new works The Treasure and Xing.

In 2006 she became a citizen of Australia and formed her own company, Red Span Dance Company, and was immediately successful in the receiving the inaugural Victorian Arts Centre's Full Tilt funding initiative to redevelop Xing, with a brief showing of the new work at the Victorian Arts Centre Black Box.

She blends her Chinese background with more contemporary Western influences, searching for an original character and style that expresses a complex and subtle aesthetic, one that provides intimacy, simplicity and abstract grace.
